Requirements; Unpacking And Inspecting - Quantum Scalar 218FC User Manual

Installation of the Scalar 218FC desktop unit requires checking all necessary Fibre Channel interface
connections, loading application software on the host computer, and applying power. Installation of the rack-
mount unit begins by mounting slide rails, a cable channel, and channel stop to your rack before continuing
the installation.
